A family in Paralakhemundi bid a tearful goodbye to their pet dog, Anjali. Performed its last rites as per traditional rituals when it died at 17 yrs. Also took out a funeral procession.

This day in 1999, a young Captain by the name of Manoj Kumar Pandey was going gung ho, clearing Paakis in Khalubar.
Little would he have have known that he had just about 43 days more in this world, before he attained martyrdom, and with it, immortal fame .. Image
He led the most difficult tasks assigned to 1/11 Gorkha Rifles in the war, with full confidence in his fellow Gorkhas to deliver. Image
Here is a letter he wrote from the battlefield to a friend.

I INSIST. Image

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the ceasefire with Pakistan announced last night. Let's see how it goes ..

At the outset, I will say what we have done to Pakistan is simply unimaginable. To that I will also add, Picture Abhi Baaki Hai!

Let me try and explain how ..
Very aptly named Operation Sindoor, it avenged #PahalgamTerrorAttack with brute force.
However, let me go back in time and start from the situation post-Kargil

1999 : IC 814 Hijack. We released three terrorists.
2001 : Parliament Attack. We mobilized, but didn't attack.
2002 : Kaluchak Attack. They killed 2-month old babies at point blank range. We didn't retaliate. Op Parakram continued.
2005 : Delhi Bombings. 60+ dead. No retaliation.
2006 : Mumbai Train Bombings. 200+ dead. No retaliation.

So this wannabe Khalifa of the 21st Century makes clear his preference!
In light of this, sharing a short thread on Pakistan-Turkey relationship at the very basic, people to people, level!
But let me begin with an addendum to what I wrote about Shri @RTErdogan Ji in the tweet above. While he aspires to be a modern day Khalifa, what he actually is, is a Pimp for the daughters and mothers of Turkey due to his support of Pakistan.
Let me elaborate, starting by this 👇 Image
@RTErdogan Yes, #PakistaniPerverts was not just trending on Turkish Social Media just three years ago, it was also a widespread sentiment in the real world in Turkey, thanks to their Pakistani 'brothers' doing what they do best - Going after the womenfolk in Turkey! Image

Folks, sharing some thoughts on implications of the GOI decision to hold Indus Water Treaty in Abeyance in the aftermath of the Pakistan Sponsored #PahalgamTerrorAttack.
The immediate trigger for the thread is this notification by the IRSA of Bhikharistan 👇
Here goes .. Image
Firstly, let me start by saying that the intent to do so by the GOI was always there, since the last decade itself.
This is a thread from almost exactly six years ago, based on the very clear and unambiguous statement by a senior minister of the GOI.
I would find it very insulting to my Motherland when people would proudly say the the Indus Water Treaty continued to be respected by India even during the wars with Pakistan.
This is purely and simply, a lack of शत्रुबोध on our side.

Folks, sharing some data points on the traditional names of various places / rivers in the Kashmir Valley .. names that are slowly but surely being erased from our collective memories.
That, and a bit about the Kashmir Valley in the Vedic Era.
Here goes .. Image
During the Rig Vedic Period, Kashmir was under the SatiSar lake, created by Lord Shiv for Sati Mata. Within it resided the demon 'Jalodgar' who had a boon from Lord Brahma that he couldn't be killed while he lived in the Satisar Lake
He terrorized inhabitants in & around the lake Image
Fed up with his tyranny, Rishi Kashyap prayed to Lord Vishnu and with his blessings, drained out the Satisar Lake from a place that came to be known as 'Varah Mool', or the Molars of the Boar (Lord Vishnu as Varah dug up an exit for the lake)
Varah Mool is present day Baramula.

Folks sharing some thoughts on the #PahalgamTerrorAttack. Here goes ..

To begin with, I think this visual of a newlywed couple on their honeymoon shall remain forever etched in my mind whenever this incident in particular and the name of Pakistan in general comes up. Image
By now we all know what happened.
Tourists were asked their religion & those who were adherents of the 'wrong' faith were killed without second thoughts by those who follow the 'correct' deen.
The first thought that came to my mind upon hearing this was the speech by Asim Munir.
Of course, with the benefit of hindsight, this was not just hot air and bluster from the Brown Panted Chief, but a 'Call to Action' to stir up the terror pot in India.
But then, I find it amusing that many of our own people were aghast upon hearing this.
